What about camouflage paints?

If they are legendary or animated camouflage paint then they would fit the current scoring rules. I do not think that the current score point take the camouflage in question. Scoring with camouflage properties would have a better importance but it would be not accurate as a white paint offering some protection in winter theme make you obvious in a summer day theme.

None the less a GS without the paint would still be better.

just let us toggle to legacy system in settings  <_<

its much easier to read 0/10 or 10/10 (newbie or crystal saver) than floating UN

I know how GS works. My question is why different GS point for paints? they all are same and has zero impact on game play

Although I agree with you on the fact that paints shouldn't add any extra score, I think there is a very good and smart decision behind this. 

 

The highest Gear Score possible is 9999 — in order for one to achieve this, one must have;

• Fully M4 Turret;
• Fully M4 Hull;
• Fully MU'd Drone;
• Fully MU'd Module;
• All supplies equal to or greater than 300;
• Legendary (Rarity) Paint.

Everything but the legendary paint can be (*cough*) easily achieved.

 

As humans, we love to have the best of everything — better than our friends, family and even strangers. Having something better than someone else brings us joy, it makes us feel proud; it makes us feel superior. You can have fully micro upgraded items but still not be able to achieve that wonderful GS score; the perfect score of 9999. Not unless you are able to get ahold of a legendary paint.

 

How does one earn that you might ask? Well, it comes at a big price. You can either buy it or win it. In order to win the paint, you must be very good at it and/or dedicate a lot of time and effort into the game — Legendary paints are won from tournaments or events (you can also get them in containers).

Either way, it is a big win for the developers of the game:

• You choose to buy the "Legendary" Paint:

  The game gets money, you get your new "9999 GS Status" — Win-Win.

   

• You choose to win the "Legendary" Paint:

  You will likely spend a lot of time in the game (trying to win and beat others), which is always a plus for any game to get your "9999 GS Status" — Win-Win.

   

• You choose to open a container to win the "Legendary" Paint:

  You will likely spend a lot of money opening containers thus giving the game money to get your (you guessed it) "9999 GS Status"  — Big Win for the game (and maybe you, if you're lucky).

   

My point is, the developers were really smart with this — it is a great way to make sure players, in the higher ranks, continue to fight for something. We all want to be the best, having a score that is visible to everyone is a great way to show off your achievements. Although the paints don't offer much GS, they offer the last puzzle needed to make your friends and everyone else jealous of your amazing new status.

revious system was way better press 'v' and see MU of hull and turret which is all that matters. these numbers mean nothing

I think a russian mod said they don't intend to because, among other reasons, people could power level a lot more effectively with the juggernault.

as I read more on this there are parts that stand out. which is wrong.. such as XT turrets receiving 80 GS . which is unfair for those who have complained over the years for tanki to make the other XT skins which still we don't have in our garages. this gives others who have them advantageous over others . which in my books is discrimination sort of..

GS is useless. :ph34r:

But.. but... you can tell if a tank is ‘cooler’ than yours! Better run away!

The only thing I can see GS being good for is making match making more fair, the amount of times you see a game being steam rolled by a team because they have better equipment is ridiculous.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a minimum GS requirement battle mode implemented aswell. Any player that plays drug battles would have experienced a take over, where friends join the opposite team with their weakest equipment.

There isn't any gameplay advantage with GS, it just shows a number ranking how dangerous as a player you are. So I don't see how it's discrimination towards players who own equipment that don't have an XT skin for.

The Deves have shown that they are actively working on XT skins now, Smoky, Titan and there will probably be more soon because the Deves have no reason to stop. It will just take some time.

see I could be wrong but maybe , if a player has a weak turret and hull on when choosing a battle . what if once in a battle then go to the garage and change to a stronger set up . not sure if this could happen but what  if it could ,then they need to look more deeper into this . just saying it could start to happen.

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

I think that while TO does need a UI update, I think elements from the old interface should be carried over to the new one. Like panorama in CS:GO, it looks good in screenshots but I will be missing the old one once it is actually released.

if you look at the chart it shows that when your using it you would get 80 GS added on to your normal GS .

 

I hope this do's happen been waiting for a long time for a ricochet .

But it's only 160 GS for a whole combination, it's not that much. Prove to them you don't need an XT skin to be good. ;)

 

Obviously there is no guarantee there will be more XT's unless stated by the Deves, but I'd be surprised if there were no more. 

[muffinman360 74]

The previous quick view system was fine and not hard to read at all. Looking at a few extra numbers as opposed to estimating multiple parameters from just one is much more effective. Also, paint rarity is useless for GS because we can see the paint in battle, whereas we can't see MU which is what the R button is for. I see players in battle who can't turn their turrets but have a legendary paint (and usually have a full M4 set)... I won't even bother to see their GS. 

 

Make GS based on point efficiency, something that actually relates to skill.

GS should be based on battles won and Skill level not buying level.. Well tanki do whats best for business and profit maximization.

Yeah that’s true, just sucks when someone joins your team in a legend only battle with a weak m3 or even m2, and you know this person has M4 combos (my main is legend btw)

it might look like not  much but once in a battle with lower less experience / GS players .Basically its like how it was years back .when higher experienced / m4 were in battles with lower rank players such as marshals or lower . they end up dominating  the battles and you could never get any scores . so yea it do's matter for lower GS players

yupe seen this when we have event battles . which I thought MMS was to make the battles more balanced . in regular battles besides DM they are some what balanced . I find more DM is all over the place on levels still. which needs to be repaired .

 

 

Proof of unbalanced battles are just beginning

Nives once said in a Friday Raw stream that all turrets and hull will get an XT version. I don't know exactly when he said that, but I think it was one of first three streams.

Hey,

What's the point of GS no one ever even thought that it would be changed

What was the problem b4??

whoooo that "battle pass" in the new interface doesn't look like a ripoff of fortnite

Damn it! Was hoping for some intriguing info about Tankers' day :ph34r:

I have a bad feeling about Tankers Day this year. Its supposed to be next Sunday, the day immediately after the Krasnodar meetup.

Just a gut feeling it might be postponed.
